FEATURED PODCAST
Andrew Frawley, the founder of the Good Life Movement, joins the Forward with Andrew Yang podcast to discuss why organizing a mass movement for mental health is so critical, now […]
The Good Life Movement — The People’s Movement for Mental Health and Well-Being — is a non-profit taking on the mental health crisis by creating a public movement focused on action and accountability.
The Movement started because there didn’t seem to be any major action to reform to the mental health system, despite it being wildly popular with so much stated concern. GLM realized that the public had not organized because the mental health field had never built the infrastructure for a movement.
GLM is working on behalf of the people to be the watchdog and muscle for mental health, bringing awareness to what’s happening then influence legislation.
We recognize that mental health clinical research is a particularly challenging area within research so we’ve brought together stakeholders from pharma, CRO’s, and sites to identify some obstacles and challenges unique to CNS research.
The STARR Site Certification is a result of these conversations.
